How good is beer 🍺 and pizza 🍕?? A top lunch special at @pizzaportbrewingco in Ocean Beach - beer, a slice & a salad! This was the Mow Town, a "lawnmower beer" which was a lightly hoppy ale that drank a fair bit like a lager and was a great wash down for this delicious sausage & pesto pizza!

Van Dieman’s Late is the more hop forward of a recent pair of Table beers.
In this case ‘Hop forward’ is relative given the presence is complementary rather than palate stripping.
The billowing rustic head is the initial showstopper with a dense, lemony carbonation that takes its time to settle. This shifts to more herbal characters as the the palate drys through the farmhouse beer. Yummy stuff!

Thanks to Will from Van Dieman for this one. Hit up the web shop for this and other crackers from the brewery.

This Gose was way too good, it goes down too easy and I think I finished the poor bugger in about 10 minutes! 😅
Briney melon gose from @andersonvalleybrewing delivers exactly what it says on the tin. Lovely and refreshing watermelon, little sweet, light and fruity followed up with solid salinity, tartness with a clean, dry finish. Bloody beautiful 😘

@mismatchbrewing has just released 3 new beers in the space of a month. Their new core range IPA, a strawberry berliner 🍓 and this, a mandarin berliner 🍊 ; which they canned. Super fresh and vibrant, heaps of fruit, all backed up a refreshing sourness.

Day 19 is @gageroadsbrewingco single fin summer ale, this is a personal favourite of mine it’s light, aromatic and flavourful, I’m so glad this isn’t a seasonal it is available all year round. Can’t wait to get a slab of this for Christmas since I’ve only got dark beers left and it being summer in Australia I won’t be drinking many dark beers.

I find the men in my family particularly hard to buy for at this time of year... but I’ve recently discovered @beerwulfwebshop, a brilliant craft beer webshop which has a range of over 600 beers from all over the world. If you don’t know which to pick, the Christmas Box is perfect - a carefully curated selection of 12 craft beers from British breweries (priced at just £28.95 with free delivery). I wonder if my brother will notice if I take out the Marshmallow Stout from Seven Bro7hers?! {spon} #beerwulf#craftbeer 🍻✨🎁

Day 18 of the @carwyncellars #canventcalendar bringing out the perfect drop for this wet, muggy Melbourne afternoon; the Count Dunkula Black IPA by Last Rites - 8.2%.
It pours jet black with a medium sized, tan coloured head.
Rich, roasty aroma of chocolate, coffee grounds, licorice and toast, as well as grapefruit rind, dank hops and pine.
The palate is a moderate to heavy roasted malt profile, with sweet notes of molasses and vanilla upfront, giving way to mild citrus flavours and a big resinous hop bitterness, the cocoa and coffee flavours carrying through to a dry, earthy finish.
Medium to full bodied, average carbonation and a slick mouthfeel. This just made my day - one of the best in the calendar thus far.
Overall: 4.75/5
